A Message From the Executive Director
As we step into a new year, I am filled with gratitude and hope as I reflect on the mission of The Gabriel Project of the Crossroads and the lives we touched through this ministry. Each day, I am reminded that this work is not simply about programs or services—it is about people, dignity, and the transforming power of God’s love.
The unwavering dedication of our staff, volunteers, board of directors, donors, and supporters drives our vital mission forward. Together, we are not just providing assistance, we are fostering a community built on compassion and respect.
In this new year, I pray that we meet each new challenge with compassion, integrity, and grace. We remain focused on forging strong relationships and connections that will empower us to serve our moms with the care they deserve.
Jeremiah 29:11 - "For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future"
